MESSAGE FROM
THE MAYOR

Community events contribute greatly to our lifestyle and help to define our city and our region.

Cairns Regional Council aims to deliver a range of events that reflect our vibrant and diverse community and
celebrate life in Tropical North Queensland.

Cairns has positioned itself as a venue of choice for large events, as evidenced by our city’s involvement in
the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and other major sporting events.

However, it is the grassroots, local events that truly are the heart of our community. These events promote a
unique sense of community pride and connection to our region.

It is through the support of sponsors that we are able to continue to present community events that grow and
evolve with our community.

The purpose of this document is to showcase Council events and the different levels of sponsorship
opportunities available. Sponsorship arrangements help to fund additional resources and activities that
enhance the community’s enjoyment and benefits from the event.

Please take the time to review our events calendar and contact our talented events team if you would like to
become involved in any of the wonderful upcoming opportunities.

We look forward to working in partnership with the local business community to deliver a full program of
engaging and enjoyable community events across the next 12 months.

                                                                                  CR BOB MANNING
